A tattooed person suspends from hooks, laying flat, one leg higher than the other. Their head is back, and they seem to be smiling, dark hair dangling like an anime character.

  • Older and Better


    Greetings, ModBloggers! Let’s begin our Wednesday smorgasbord with this shot of “Mr. Lees Boat,” if that is his real name, featuring some brand new circular facial scarification work by the great Iestyn (lots more). As always, we’ll be very curious to see how these suckers heal, but between his jewelry and new scars, ’tis a fine theme emerging.

    (Cutting by Iestyn at Diamond Jack’s in London, England.)

  • A Big Blue Watery Road


    Well folks, let’s wrap things up today with a request: A few astute readers very politely wondered in my general direction, hey, where all the handsome fellas at? They’re right here, friends—and by “here” I mean “up there,” like the excellently named Adam “Danger” Chitwood, who just hangs out all day, shirtless, letting his hair blow in the mild breeze. Must be nice. Must be nice.

    Until tomorrow, fair ModBloggers.

  • How to Build a Boat


    As part of our ongoing effort to bring you the absolute best in both knuckle and cephalopod tattoos, here’s some hand-work by Asa Rogers at Art With Heart in Denver, Colorado. It’s common knowledge that I can’t help but find endearing stylistic mishmashes, and this Asian lettering/”Book Worm”/sea-creature battle just plain does it for me. (The brilliant coloring doesn’t hurt.)

    And before anyone pipes in with a worry or complaint that they either (1) already have “Book Worm” on their knuckles or (2) were planning on getting it and this just ruins their day…cheer up. If there’s a fine club of which to be a part, I think this would be it. On that note, what’s everybody reading this summer? Let’s hear your recommendations, ModBloggers. Oh, and of course, the other hand of above set is conveniently placed after the jump.

  • You Are Evolution


    As you’re all likely aware, whenever we come across modified professionals, we like to give them a little spotlight—it’s important for both members of the community as well as the “mainstream” to know that visible piercings, tattoos or anything else need not keep a skilled person from forging a particular career path. Well, up top there is Kasha, who, as you can see, has all manner of facial piercings, but hasn’t let that stop her from reaching her goal of being some sort of zombie-killing death merchant. As for the chunk of meat in that undead bastard’s mouth…merely a flesh wound, I’m sure. She’ll be fine.

  • Know Every Rule


    Nice and simple play-piercing here from Slombat, but, hey, expertly placed and well-photographed to boot. With all the textural and color and shadow (etc., etc.) elements that body modification can add to a subject, it’s always a joy to see photographers take advantage of those additions when composing their photos. And now, after the jump, the above model engaged in some kinda vulgar wall-porn.
